Jewellers' shops may be shut if the strike against local
body tax continues.

Pune - You may miss out on plans to buy gold on the
auspicious occasion of Akshaya Tritiya on Monday if the
traders� strike against local body tax (LBT) continues.

Akshaya Tritiya, also known as Akha Teej, is considered
one of the �three-and-half� auspicious days of the year
by Hindus. Even the Jains consider it an auspicious day.

Akshaya Tritiya is also considered the festival of
eternal or never-ending prosperity. In Sanskrit, the word
�Akshaya� means eternal or unending. Since the yellow
metal is considered a symbol of wealth and prosperity,
buying of gold on Akshaya Tritiya is considered a good
omen by many.

This year, the Akshaya Tritiya falls on May 13, which is
just four days ahead. However, since the jewellers�
association has joined the strike, all jewellery shops
are closed.

Last month, the traders� strike began a few days before
Gudhi Padwa, again considered one of the most auspicious
days of the year. However, the strike was called off a
couple of days before that.

This time, the traders� association says they are not in
a mood to call off the strike till their demands are met
with. Federation of Traders� Associations of Pune
convernor Fatehchand Ranka told dna, �The saraf bazaar
(jewellers) will remain closed on Akshaya Tritiya if the
strike against LBT continues till Monday.�
